    How different is this from the old Gottlieb Vitrigraph process? Seems to be very similar....and I can tell you, they have held up very well over the years!

    Quoted from MikeS:

    I have a Diamond Lady with a Vitrograph playfield. I'd say that Vitrograph is more similar to a hard top in thickness whereas the Haggis solution is a thick piece of acrylic. Both options protect the playfield from wear. I doubt Vitrograph would protect against the sledgehammer test due to how thin it is but for its time it was a nice solution. My preference for playability and looks is still traditional wood playfield with a nice clearcoat but with the way quality has been recently on clearcoats/wood I can see why this would be a good option.

    So long as that acrylic bond is good enough that it cannot sheer off the bond during years of temperature and humidity changes, I don't see why this solution wouldn't work just as well. I'll have to smack my Victory under the apron sometime and see how much it marks up I still think print and clear over a solid phenolic sheet would be an even better option for someone to try, since it is not affected by heat and humidity whatsoever.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    IPDB states it was only Diamond Lady, Victory and TX-Sector[quoted image]

    Victory had both silk screened and Vitrograph. Not sure if the others had both as well.

    The first game from Haggis isn't my cup of tea, but I like these guys already! Looking forward to seeing what else they have in store.

    Quoted from Yelobird:

    Agreed and if the picture is a representation I will stick with pooling personally.

    Also if you screw posts through it, the plastic will expand when the machine warms up and you'll have ripples everywhere. There is nothing this stuff is going to do to stop pooling if you free float it like a typical playfield protector.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    It seems like just months ago Haggis was the talk of the town with their revolutionary bulletproof playfields and dramatized hammer love-tap demonstration videos.
    ANything new? I was hoping for some slingshot plastics and a microwave oven, or maybe a dunk tank revealing waterproof cabinets. Or maybe titanium boardsets being run over by an old Buick?

    I hear the cabinets are going to be dipped in a vat of Flex Seal.
